Re: volvo ignition

Pertronix is the way to go. About $75.00 and a hour of work and your done. Had mine for two years. It is really nice not to have to deal with points and as most here will tell you it will improve the way your motor starts and runs.

Chuck, I have a 1972 Volvo 6 cylinder. I found a Crane electronic ignition unit that fits my Bosch dist. Check Crane's website, or it can be had from IPD Volvo performance parts(www.ipdusa.com)<br /><br />Hope this helps,<br /><br />David

CHUCKR<br />I also have an AQ 131 and would like to know how you make out with the Pertronix ignition. I don't get to use my boat much and it seems to never want to start after sitting idle for 3 weeks.
